## Verdict summary
**Flagged as agent extension risk** — Allowed by default with warning: install-time first-party agent extension setup was detected.

- **Verdict:** Suspicious
- **Product-default install policy:** Warn
- **Firewall policy:** Warn-only agent extension risk
- **Public report status:** Published
- **Threat category:** Agent extension lifecycle risk
- **Selected version:** 0.22.78
- **Selected version is latest:** No
- **Analysis source:** AI Security Review (lpm-firewall-ai)

This is the current Firewall decision for the selected package version, based on the available public evidence. Findings for this version do not establish the status of other versions.

AI assessment: suspicious; recommendation: downgrade to warn. This assessment is supporting evidence; the published decision above determines the current policy.

Source inspection found no concrete malware behavior, but confirmed automatic boot-time mutation of Claude agent settings in configured repositories. This first-party extension setup warrants a warning because it can install a session hook beyond the initial connect action.

## Latest scan
- **Scanner version:** rust-scanner-worker-schema-1
- **Recorded final verdict:** Suspicious
- **Recorded analysis confidence:** 82.0%

The recorded confidence comes from the underlying analysis. Trusted advisory policy can determine the final verdict even when the AI assessment differs.

## Security analysis

### Published attack-surface review

- **Summary:** The daemon automatically refreshes Claude agent settings in configured product repositories at startup. This is first-party integration setup, but it can add a SessionStart hook to existing repositories after the initial setup.

- **Trigger:** Starting the daemon with configured products.

- **Impact:** The added hook can run Telora session-state behavior when Claude starts in those repositories; no separate malicious payload or credential transfer was identified.

- **Evidence paths:** dist/shell/unified-shell.js, dist/shell/unified-shell-provisioning.js, dist/cli/connect/claude.js

- **Review source:** ai\_review

- **Reviewed:** 2026-10-20T03:18:37.456Z

### AI review details

- **Review stage:** source\_first\_review

- **Mechanism:** The boot path iterates configured product repositories and calls the Claude settings merge, which can write \`.claude/settings.json\`.

- **Rationale:** Source inspection found no concrete malware behavior, but confirmed automatic boot-time mutation of Claude agent settings in configured repositories. This first-party extension setup warrants a warning because it can install a session hook beyond the initial connect action.

- **Files touched:** .claude/settings.json

### Review decision

- **Verdict:** Suspicious

- **Confidence:** 82.0%

- **Recommended action:** downgrade\_to\_warn

- **Intent class:** Dangerous Capability

- **False-positive risk:** Medium

- **Evidence for warning:** At daemon boot, the package refreshes Claude settings for every configured product repository., The refresh writes a merged \`.claude/settings.json\`; this can install a SessionStart hook into an existing repository., The connect command is an explicit setup flow that starts the daemon and configures agent integrations., The manifest has only a \`prepublishOnly\` lifecycle script, which builds and stamps package metadata.

- **Evidence against:** The Claude settings merge is idempotent and skips writes when the file is unchanged., The inspected Lacuna process runner installs a sidecar only when its Python environment is missing and requires a configured source., The inspected spawn lifecycle excerpt checks merge conflicts and records agent success or failure.
